Neighbor issues

[chudrockz]

Bullet holes coming through the adjoining wall when other drug dealers attempt to steal from them, or the inevitable swat raid. Hell, swat might even raid his house as well since its connected. That's what is wrong with dealing drugs.

1,000,000 times THIS. It's a near constant worry. Our houses are mirror images as I said, and you hear and read about "mistakes" all the time. What happens when the River Valley Drug Task Force "mistakenly" incinerates our front door while we're watching Hell's Kitchen, shoots our dog and terrorizes the hell out of my wife and I before going "oops!"

 

[chudrockz]

And as far as it goes, I'm ALL for complete decriminalization of ALL drugs. If it takes the violence and general craziness out of the "business," so much the better.

Nice, misdirection. And yes, it is. They are knowingly taking part in risky illegal activities that invite those types of things. or do you suppose they don't know its illegal and risky behavior?

I wasn't aware it was the drug dealers fault that drugs are illegal.

Why don't we blame Holocaust victims for deciding to remain Jewish??

It still won't be the drug dealers fault when that happens.

What is wrong with dealing drugs?

Also, ask yourself, WWAFD

If you don't mind people dealing drugs out of your driveway, fine let them. But most of us don't want that on our property or neighbourhood and near our schools.

Lets see, your neighbor is a asshole. Their kids are drug dealers. You can't stand these people. And you live with them in what sounds like a duplex.

Ever think of moving?

Fuggem. Live long and prosper is my motto. Ask yourself what you can dd o better and all is well...right?

Good Neighbors build good fences

Yeah, if you have the coin to spare, just get a tasteful fence built to separate the property lines. Problem solved and it'll raise your property value.

 

[phill4paul]

Buy good insurance. Simulate a meth lab in their side of the duplex while they are out. Leave. Let the fire get you enough insurance money to move to the boonies where you don't have asshole neighbors.

Never call the cops.

Man up and pound on the door EVERY time they do it and make them move it. Eventually they will get the message. If they don't stop tell them the next time you will be moving it for them. Get yourself a chain, hook it to your truck and drag it out of the way.

Don't pay your underwater mortgage for a year or two, take the money you saved and buy a small simple place in the country with cash.

Why is dealing drugs in one's garage worse than selling any other commodity/product/service? (assuming it's legal)

I consider dealing drugs immoral, I don't consider it the same thing as selling a used bicycle out of your garage. Also, I wouldn't want someone else dealing drugs on my property.

 

[BlackTerrel]

You gotta confront. Passive aggressive reaction is only going to make things worse before you'll eventually have to confront them anyway.

That has got to be one of the dumbest rebuttals I've ever read

-your -rep comment to me from this thread

IT'S NOT HIS DRIVEWAY THAT THEY ARE DEALING DRUGS OUT OF. We don't even know if the drug dealers are the ones abusing the driveway privileges, but either way it is a separate issue... unless they are using his driveway for drug related activity....in which case he does have some cause for concern but may decide to weigh his options due to being able to easily plead ignorance.... except that he has now admitted by posting it on the internet, I would never have mentioned it because it is fairly irrelevant and not something that is good to post on the internet.

Do you get mad at your neighbor if they have somebody come over to by something off them from craigslist?

Two years ago during a 3ft snowstorm it took me 3 hours to clear a spot in the front of my house for my mom/me to park in the street right infront of my house. My mom left to go take care of my grandparents (my grandfather has dementia) and when she came home, my neighbor who lives 8 or so houses up the block was PARKED IN OUR SPOT.

I just went back out there and placed the snow right around his car, and under it.

Good luck. Be smart... don't get caught doing anything.

Drop a pack of nails. Large. Nails. ... and if you do f*ck with their tires, make it look really good.

Are we really advocating destruction of private property now?

Not necessarily.

I would put the nails on my own property. What he decides to do, or park, on my property... makes it my business.

 

[Zippyjuan]

That's easy. Morally, you can use such force as is necessary to repel a trespass on your property. So have at it. But being morally correct doesn't necessarily mean it is smart.

In general, if you value peace of mind, it is a bad idea to provoke people you can't get away from and who have nothing to lose, unless you totally eliminate their ability to retaliate. If you piss off people who have nothing to do but sit around all day figuring out ways to fuck with you while you are off at work, it is a near certainty that your life is going to take a turn for the worse. Personally, I have more interesting and pleasant things to do with my time than feud with the neighbors. So I would find a way to solve the problem without starting a war, even if it means ignoring the problem. I don't have a pressing need to make people treat me fairly. But some folks enjoy conflict - or are so driven by pride that they can't allow some fool to "get away" with bad behavior. It is to some extent a matter of what you want in life. I value peace of mind and am willing to go around an obstacle and ignore a slight to get it. Works for me. Your mileage may vary.

Unless you want to move, you have to find a way to get along with your neighbors. Talk nicely with them. If you start doing things to them for parking in your space, it will only escalate and get worse and then you will have more problems.

I like how you edited the first part of you post from "Yes" to "not necessarily."
